This clothing was worn by the club’s women’s team in 2022 within the framework of the 10 years of winning the Copa Libertadores.
Regarding the reason why those led by Jorge Almirón will take the field with said shirt, this is because Conmebol did not accept the black or white color to face the defending champion. Thus, Colo Colo will wear the team’s third jersey along with black shorts and socks.
